Salut les gars, J'ai acheté des 18 pouces d'un gars qui avait un pontiac vibe gt 2010, et je veux les mettre sur mon 06, je me demandais si je pouvais juste mettre des coil over comme ceux ci (http://m.autoanything.com/suspension-sy ... 06174.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ) sur ma suspension si j'enlevais mes coil overs d'origine. Estce que sa va fit ou non je suis obligé de changer toute ma suspension au complet ? Merci de votre aide

Yes they will fit, there are better struts you can get that will work better with lowered springs. You may want to replace some of the hardware as well.

In case you're not yet aware, those wheels won't fit for your 2006. The 2009-2010 Vibe GTs have a 5x114.3 bolt pattern, whereas your 2006 has a 5x100 bolt pattern .

Are you sure it was a 1.8L Base though, because the only available OEM wheels for 2009-2010 1.8L Base Vibes was a 16" steel wheel with wheel cover. If they are indeed OEM from a 2nd gen (2009-2010) Vibe and are something other than a plain old steel wheel, they are from a 2.4L and will not fit your 2006.
